I Guess I Can Go Home Now
Tonight was the first of two work sessions for me for Match Game SF. This was the relatively easy one, where I printed the banners (time-consuming but not difficult) and some of the behind-the-scenes paperwork for the game. I may have to redo it if conditions change, which they may. We don't actually have the entire panel finalized or a confirmed announcer, but I now know when we're "on the air"
Friday, July 4, 1 PM, Grand Ballroom A
Sunday, July 6, 1 PM, Grand Ballroom A
Our current plan is to play four rounds in each of the two games. Nothing has been scheduled after us, so we're allowed to go a little long if necessary, because we have enough time to clean up after each show. (Set-up for the first show is going to be a bit cramped because the Westercon Business Meeting is in the slot 90 minutes before the Friday show. I wish it were Saturday!)
I continue to look for more sponsors to donate prizes. If you happen to be reading this and want to donate a prize in return for a commercial and other promotional consideration, please let me know. I do like being able to give contestants some prize, even if it's a small one like a $10 gift certificate from one of the dealers. One nice thing about donating prizes is that there is a decent chance of you getting the promotional opportunity without having to actually deliver the prize.
If we end up with fewer than eight prizes in inventory, I have a backup plan that will work assuming at least two contestants do not win the Bonus Round. Details if we get there.
The really hard part is still to come: getting the question packs together. I have some new questions in inventory, but not 36 of them, so I need to try and figure out what questions I can reuse or dredge from the history without boring either our panel or the audience.

We're looking for something that reads in the form of a 30-second radio commercial. We read them at game breaks.

WFC 2008
Re: WFC 2008
We were going to be there for a One-Night Room Party, but alas.. the main organiser could not get the night off.. and Hubby and I couldn't run it (since I'll be 8.5 months pregnant, with older kids to take trick or treating). I even had the awesome idea to have Treat Bags made up to hand out that advertised our Convention and the Room Party...

It turns out that the constraint on number of games we play is almost as much prize availability as it is questions we can ask, although the quality of the questions tends to tail off if we go too deep into the bin.
